Patna, June 27 -- Targetting Rashtriya Janata Dal and Janata Dal (United), Jan Suraaj Party party founder Prashant Kishor said that Bihar became a state of labourers under their governance.

"The only way to end poverty, illiteracy and unemployment in Bihar is education. The last 30-35 years of Lalu-Nitish rule have turned the entire Bihar into a labourers' state. The children here were forced to carry sacks on their backs. Jan Suraaj's ideology is that the children of Bihar will not carry sacks on their backs, but will carry school bags, study, get jobs, and live a good life," Kishor said.

The Election Commission of India has allotted the 'school bag' as the common election symbol to Jan Suraaj for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections....
